In Hayes's case, it's a travesty he not in Canton already.

He was a great player. He was so fast, one defender couldn't cover him one-on-one. Opposing teams had to use at least two guys to cover him. He changed the way the game was played forever.

Bob Hayes is long overdue the Hall.

Any player that actually changes the way the game is played with his dominance should be in Canton.

I actually remember watching Bullet Bob Hayes playing. He would get my vote.
